I'm a great-great grandson of Squire Levi Gitchel, who migrated from PA to MI. His father was named David Gitchel. I have been looking for the father of David Gitchel for years. I THINK David had 2 brothers named Ebenezer and Jesse. I know that these 3 orphaned boys were in Steuben County NY around 1800. I THINK their father may have been named Ezra Getchell, who was born in 1742 in Amesbury, MA. Their father also MAY have been Jacob Getchell, Ezra's brother, born in Brookfield, MA in 1732-3. The spelling of the name may be Gatchell, Getchell, Gitchell, or Gitchel. I'd appreciate any information anyone has on the parents of Squire Levi's father, David.

Thanks,

Dent Gitchel

Jesse, David and Ebenezer Gitchell/Gitchel

I understand you may have descendants of David Gitchel and into the 1700's also. My mother was a Gitchel, Elizabeth--her father was Lewis Calvin--his father Calvin--his father David and wife Elizabeth Bennett. If you are related please help me on datta as I woud love to get my family tree completed as much as it is possible. Calvin was married to Sarah Luella Lake, her father Henry Lake, her mother Luella Shauk. Calvin and Elizabeth had these children: Frank, Grace, Cora, Lewis Calvin, Viva. Lewis Calvin Gitchel was born Dec 21, 1869 in Springfield, Missouri, he died Sept 16, 1927 as result of a son havig a gun go off while in a truck. If you are related would you please let me know what information you have on the Gitchel family.
Best regards,

Would appreciate any generations of this line.

Classification: Query
I have some information on a Gitchell line ascending from James George (b.1893) s/o George Washington (b.1858-MI) s/o Squire Levi (b.1811 - PA) s/o David (b. 1784-ME) s/o David (b. 1735-ME) s/o Robert (b. 1702 - MA) s/o Samuel (b.1656-MA) s/o Samuel (b.1617- Eng) s/o Thomas (b. 1590-Eng).
However, I'm trying to locate the many brothers of these men, especially the pioneers, brothers of Squire Levi Gitchell named William, Willard, David and Frank.
